RESQUEST: Remove 'Snap to Grip' desktop Icons - XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps

Hello everyone,
i've searched a lot on the web, and in XDA forum, and only found here one topic related to nexus one, about this.
Is there any app that can remove this feauture of snap to grid ?
It's a waste of space on the desktop and it limits the number of widgets we can use because it says 'not enought space on this desktop', even if it is an 1x1 widget and its visible there is space enought !
Can anyone give + info ?
Thank You.

use adw launcher and set desktop row to 8 X 8 ?

If you want more application Icons on desktop then you need More Icons Widget. its not free, but im guessing you have the same app free with less features.
Check it out.

ICS Google Search Widget Theme - High Res/Universal

Hey guys, just wanted to share an ICS search widget mod that works perfectly on our Notes. (Gingerbread) I found this app on the market awhile back, but was pulled down for an unknown reason. I did not write this app & unfortunately I do not even know who to give credit to.
Either way, this is the best method I've found for getting a high res ICS themed search widget - the voice icon also works perfectly. Just install the APK as you would any other application (file manager, root explorer, etc) and the widget will show up in your widget menu.
Here is a screenshot and download link :

You'll need a launcher that allows you to resize widgets, otherwise it will be 4x1 like the stock widget. I use ADW EX w/ 6x1. I know Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, SPB shell 3d, and many others will allow you to resize it.

How did you get your dock to look like that? I have the background image and the ICS icons, however when I set the background that white line touches the top of the icons rather than there being a "gap" like there should be!
I use Kovdev's ICS theme which i believe works with ADW and Go launcher.
Just reporting it worked for me in my Ace...

Will be great when authors let users delete Baidu's search widget and optimize RAM usage. Until then I'll be using QQ launcher which is similiar but has less features.

The 360 launcher lags on your x10 device but does not lags on my x10 mini pro
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
And 360 doesn't have scrollable widgets.
if u could you might want to try and fix the brightness, if u change it using the built on widget or one built into your slide down status bar that only changes the launcher thing.
its nbd but only real flaw i see
this launcher is a keeper
Possibly one of the best launchers but i dont like the icons.
Using themes icons are small. and why it says APPS in appdrawer
Came across this a while ago. I like most of the features, but the app launch transition irritates me - despite having the ability to customise page transitions and app drawer transitions, there's no launch transition option, so it's not quite my cup of tea yet.
It's the launcher from a very nice rom. DX OS. Available for quite a few phones. Also have other apps on market from the rom. Search for Tapas Mobile.

Used DxHome for a few hours , 2 things i don't like about it , can't remove search widget from 1st screen & the home-screen transitions not very smooth (a bit laggy) on my SGS II i9100G !!
I appreciate the overall appearance of the home-screen & i also loved it's default icons !!
I used to have 3.0.4 and 3.0.9 versions on my samsung galaxy s i9000.
However 3.0.9 was the last version that ever worked well for me. Since this version all I get is very slow app drawer

What tablet size widgets/apps d'you find useful?

I had been looking EVERYWHERE for a 5x1 or more size weather forecast widget for my Note.
And apparently, I'm an idiot. I'd uninstalled HD Widgets a few weeks ago only to discover today (after being informed by someone) that they do Note-friendly widget sizes, including weather forecast!
What about you guys?
Quite a few launchers allow you to resize widgets.
I resize widgets using ADW.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Nova or Apex prettt much the same and both will give you ban option to resize widgets.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Android Pro Widgets are in 5 columns wide if you keep TW as your launcher.
I use ADW EX as launcher and still use Android Pro Widgets (paid version), I like them. The widgets are made by the developer of Launcher Pro.
Resizing widgets only makes them bigger, not the same as widgets created to natively show more information in higher size.
Like for example, I found plenty of 4x1 widgets that displayed only a 4day forecast, stretching them didn't magically increase that forecast to five days!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I use HD Widgets full screen 5x5 (you can resize it 4x5 without loss)and I have my launcher set to 6x5

Hmm.doesn't with mine although I'm not entirely sure if the free version of soundhound doesn't really have the widget. Read from Amazon appstore that it does not...so maybe that's the reason.

Did you try looking in shortcuts instead of widgets? It's in there for me.

Best Launcher ever! Xperia 206b & a workatound fix. No root needed.

Update
You can use any wallpaper you want but it shows as black, some skewed icons in app drawer bottom row. No other issues on Moto Z.
Good news: The folder bug does not exists for the Z!
I cannot find a more satisfying launcher in spite of its "no folder" bug.
The TSF was too much of a Hog.
I have moved on to TSF Shell. It has all the features of Xperia & more. Worth the price too.
If you create a folder it will not last. While the workaround fixes the loss of icons. Lossed folders are also a consequence of the initial bug.
In fact may be the cause of the bug.
Therefore folder creation is not allowed on any homescreen! !
Those on launcher pro plus OR nova launcher can put the xperia app drawer in place of the stock app drawer. Xperia drawer button in center, Nova button on right.

Xperia drawer
On the msm8960's, which includes the x, the launcher is marred by the Bootup condition where (sometimes) homepage icons/shortcuts are missing. A launcher/settings > restart launcher is a fix.
Dev is no longer supporting this launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2103403

Can you sort apps by install time?
If you use launcher pro plus or Nova prime, you get tremendous shortcut creation features, to the level that you may add the xperia app drawer to the LPP bar instead of the stock drawer.
